The weekend starts here! Without further ado, here’s what you could be enjoying this weekend in Tel Aviv:
Tonight
Wolf & Lamb at the Block Club aided by a host of great local DJs. 23:30 – 9:00. Main act not on till probably 3:00 or something, but don’t take my word for it and turn up earlier in case I’m wrong (just be ready for the possibility that you may be waiting a while). Tickets are 80NIS on the door or 75NIS in advance from here if you’re quick.
DJ Zombi tonight at the Michatronix from 22:00 – 7:00. Free entry, tiny venue.
At the Maxim Club there’s an Our Darkness night for all of the nostalgic goths among you, though tonight it’s a Smiths and Morrissey special, so keep that in mind if you’re one of the few who don’t like the Smiths, as you’d be hearing a lot of their stuff all night long. Starts at 23:00 goes on till very late. Tickets 30-50NIS (get there by midnight to get in for 30NIS).
Tomorrow (Friday)
Tel Aviv’s top dupstep night, Kidz Up Late, hosts The Others (UK) at the Comfort 13, alongside a good team of regulars (Nasty Habit, Submob Crew, Ivy, Rauch). 23:30- 5:00ish, entry only 50NIS before 1:00.
Your truly underground option must be Queerefesh at the Rogatka Bar – a night of queer vegan punks and friends with supercheap booze and food, weird performance art, loads of fun music from trash to electronica and loads of random shit including loads of bad singing, as this is apparently the theme. It’s gonna get surreal. Costs only 20NIS (including a free cocktail if you get there early) and all proceeds will go to the refugee kindergarten in Shapira that got burnt down recently in a hate crime firebombing incident.
There’s also a fun girls’ party at Zizi with an all female DJ team playing tech-house and house of various types. Headliner is Elena Hunt. Tickets 60NIS on the door, unless you hit attending on their event page then it’s 50NIS. 23:00 – late.
And if you like psytrance and want to get out of town on Friday for a big outdoor party, you can try posting here (Facebook event page) for information, tickets and liftshare. Tickets cost 150NIS and there may still be some left.
Apart from that… See my calendar on the side for regular events happening today, tomorrow and Sat.
